DiviDe anD Rule
Orchestrating the perfect balance between functionality and aesthetics, partitions serve as the best vertical dividers for any space. Glass, bamboo, timber, concrete etc. are few options which strategically serve the purpose of separating zones in interiors. Ahead, we bring some elegant partition ideas that are worth embracing.
“The creation of distinct functions in a space or the efficient utilisation of an open floor plan, both employ ingenious partition systems. Partition systems can be curated in tandem with the colour scheme, materiality and design identity of the surrounding spaces. These elements bolster pragmatic usage and harness the ability to build on the design grammar effortlessly.” Disha Bhavsar anD shivani ajmera, PrinciPal Designers anD co-FounDers, Quirk stuDio
“Partitions have been used in spaces in many different ways, to separate a space functionally and visually.
In this home, individual carved wooden panels come together to create a divider between two areas of a large living room, and a wooden lattice as a divider within a bedroom. Partitions can be used effectively in many different ways not only to divide spaces but also as a decorative element. In restaurants we have used creative partitions to sectionalise the private or VIP area from the rest of the space.” minnie Bhatt, FounDer & Design Director, minnie Bhatt Design
“There are three surfaces of a home that define a space floors, ceiling and walls. Partitions are something that comes at eye level that can really enhance how a space looks and feels, and forms such an important element. Functionally, it divides two spaces and creates a spatial partition between two areas. But aesthetically, it serves as the entire backdrop for both the spaces on either side. Dressing up your partition walls is important for these two reasons.” sarah sham, PrinciPal Designer, essajees atelier
